    Get in, get it on your resume, and GET OUT!!

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Very few nowadays. The product is easy to learn, sell, and it is a very recognizable brand. This is good for an internship or to begin a sales role. Easy shift-based job if you are inside sales. Outside sales does not have a great work/life balance but it's not too bad.

    Cons

    Very toxic environment. Prepare for blatant racism, sexism, and bullying tactics. BIG "boys' club" culture. Beware if you are a woman in this company. Diversity does not exist in this company at the corporate and sales levels. Do not believe their diversity statistics. Most POCs are factory workers. Poor pay. No commission bonuses for sales (who does that?!). Very minimal raises - if any at all. End-of-year bonuses are mostly based on subjective measures rather than a quantifiable number. You will never feel secure in your employment. Ever! All the talent and experience that built the brand has left. You will have nobody left to teach you. You will also leave. The grass is definitely greener on the other side. There are better sales opportunities with better cultures and better pay.
